LONDON. April 14.-The language used
by Mr.. Chamberlain in speaking at meet
ings in Ayr has iIfiaMed the Irish against
HIM, and he has received numerous letters
warning him that he will not leave Scot
land alive. Speaking to an assemblage OF
1850 persons MI Chamberlain said:
The opponents OF the crimes bill have made
an cutlery against the repression OF liberty.
Liberty to do what, to commit theft, to ruin
industrious men, to outrage women! Kisses
mingled with cheers. What are you Kissing,
the crime or the punishment!
Here a man. rising and menacing Cham
berlail, cried: 1T is not characteristic of
the Irish to outrage women" An attempt
was made to turn the man out but Mr..
Chamberlain erred out: leave him alone y
Then he continued:
Do you want instances of insults offered to
women? lCries of .'outrase you said; you

the Curtin family, where the lives OF the
widow and daughter of the murdered man
were made in,olerable, like that of the widow
Of another murdered man, Byers, who, while
accompanying the dead body OF her husband
was jeered and hooted along the street.
Here the speaker was interrupted by cries

order.) / am relating facts TO which even
my opponents might listen in silence OF hor-
ror and shame. When refer to assassina-
lions man here says, "take care of your
self" Has the time come when we dare not
discuss political matters in this country with

Great cheering.) This is the spirit of the
parties in the convention in Chicago. L am

tives in Scotland. (Cries of ''They are not
Scotcbmen.') That convention besides be-
ing attended by delegates honestly in sympa-
thy with ireland. had delegates of different
stamp: apostles of outrage and murder. VINO
have paid the outrage mongers of England.
Mr.. Redmond, the delegate OF the Irish par
liamentary party, explicitly declared before
the convention that it was the aim of that
party to affect the entire separation of Ire
land and England, and that their policy was
to make the government OF Ireland by Eng
land impossible. This they sought to effect
by the most
IMMORAL CONSPIRACIES
ever devised i'll a civilized land-by contend
ing for liberty to violate every law, human
and divine. Do you think it infamous to re-
strain these men? (Cheers). Mr.. Parnell
threatened in the house of commons, under
the specious euise of a warning, that ii the CO.
ercion bill were passed there would be re-
newal of outrages, dynamite explosions and
attempts to assassinate our statesmen. This
grim suggestion may prove the death warrant
OF some of US. (Cries OF "No!o Well what
happens to individuals is not of much conse-
quence. The danger is to the commonwealth.
For the first time in English history our foes
have sympathizers within our ancient fort
ress. Their plan Of attack finds encourage
ment from those who ought to be the strong
est defenders of our citadel. These make our
task more arduous.- But we will not shrink;
we will not abate; we will not yield to threats
from whatever quarter they come; but we
will endeavor to hand down unimpaired to
our children the unity. strength and honor OF
the mighty empire our forefathers bequeathed
US.
Mr.. Chamberlain's speech excites all
parties. The UnionistS consider it a
DECLARATION OF WAR
to the knife with the Separatlsts. The
Gladstonians charge Mr.. Chamberlain with
slandering and villifying his former col
leagues by the insinuatiOn that they sympa-
thiZe with the perpetrators OF outrages in
Ireland. 1t is asserted that during his tour
through Scotland Mr.. Chamberlain will be
attended by private guard. In the house
of commons John Redmond made per.
sonal explanation with reference to his
speech at the Chicago convention. He
said that Mr.. Chamberlain in his speech at
Ayr had represented him as saying that the
Irish party was not working for the re-
moval of grievances, whereas what he did
say was that it was not working solely fol
the purpose of removing the material griev-
ances of tenants, but to obtain political re-
forms, also; and further. when he said that
the government of Ireland by England was
impossible his Illusion was to the central
lied bureaucratic government of Dublin

debate on the coercion bill. While admit
ting the difficulty in certain cases of pro-
curing convictions in Ireland. he said the
facts were not so serious as the government
alleged. In England the percentage OF
conviction was II; in Ireland %. The paul
city of detections in Ireland was due to two
distinct causes. First, the Irish police
were an armed military body; they did moi
mix with the people and were unfit for de-
tective work. Second, parliament had. by
laws heretofore passed, 50 alienated the
people that they regarded the law as theil
natural enemy. This bill would increase
that enmty. So arbitrary were the bilPs
